Waven A hand-drawn world to conquer

Battles play out on a grid, one turn at a time, and your spells come from a deck you prepare before each fight. You pick your hero, combine spells, equipment and companions into a strategy, then use every trick you have: strike up close or from a distance, master the elements, summon mythical companions to fight beside you. Monsters come in multitudes and get harder as you go, and winning earns you tons of loot. You drop a spell that sets the ground alight, then a summoned companion walks in behind it and finishes the job.

The setting is a flooded world where only a few islands survived the rising waters. Long ago gods and dragons ruled; magic remains, but the mythical beings of yesteryear are another question. You play a seafaring adventurer sailing from island to island in search of answers to this great upheaval. It is heroic fantasy in the Krosmoz, a universe Ankama has kept alive for years across video games and animated series, drawn in a colorful, hand-crafted style full of lively creatures. The monsters are burlesque, the palette is bright, and even the fights keep a friendly look. The soundtrack is a highlight, shifting during combat as your hero's health changes.

Progress is the point here. Win battles to earn experience, spells and companions, then customize your equipment and deck to push your strategy further. Because so many pieces combine (character archetypes, spells, gear, companions), two heroes of the same kind can play completely differently, and trying a new build is a reason to set sail again. Short sessions help: a fight or two fits into a spare moment, and there is always another combination to test. If a build stops working, you rebuild it and come back smarter. It is the kind of game where you finish a run already planning the next one.

Everything can be played alone or with friends, online co-op against the game's monsters or PvP against each other. Joining a session is straightforward, and coordinating a turn-based fight with someone else is its own pleasure: one of you sets up the board, the other cashes it in. When the co-op crew is busy, the Kolossium is waiting. Step through its doors, challenge other players, climb the rankings and prove your valor to become a legend yourself. Between monster hunts with the group and ranked duels, a session covers both sides: teaming up against the game, then settling who is actually the better tactician.
